Why The Alkaline Cleanse Was DevelopedI started exhibiting signs of acidosis when I was in my mid-forties. However, at the time, I had no idea what acidosis was. I knew that my health was starting to deteriorate and I couldn’t figure out why. How could I go from being in above average shape for most of my life, to being 25 lbs. overweight, constantly fatigued, and sick so often? My lifestyle hadn’t changed, why was my health deteriorating? I blamed it on getting older.

I decided to go on a diet and I did lose 15 lbs. within a few months; however, I actually felt more run down than ever. I had no concept of alkaline or acid foods, so I didn’t realize I was just eating less acidic food than I was before, and that I was not addressing the real problem going on inside me.

As a business owner, I was dealing with a lot of stress in my life with employees and demanding clients. People were constantly telling me that I was just having stress related symptoms and that I needed to take more time off and relax. Although this is generally good advice, it was just a temporary solution, as I needed to run a business and I could not be away very long.

I started to develop more serious symptoms by the time I was 48. I was having constant headaches, chronic diarrhea, chest pains, sinus problems, mucus in my lungs, bloating, mood swings and my skin was dull and lifeless. My cholesterol levels were high and so was my blood pressure. Even though I was getting 8 to 10 hours of sleep a night, I never felt energetic. I went to the doctor several times over the years, but they could not find any one thing to blame it on. I was actually working out quite regularly, so I knew that lack of exercise was not an issue. Little did I know at the time, I was actually over exercising, considering all the stress my body was already in.

Shortly after my fiftieth birthday, I was eating lunch (roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy, diet coke and dessert) when my vision started to go blurry and then became wavy and everything looked distorted. Of course, I got scared! My heart started racing, my stomach became bloated and I had pain shooting up my legs.

I rushed to my doctor and they immediately called an ambulance, thinking I was having a heart attack. I was rushed to the hospital and they gave me nitro pills. After a few minutes, my blood pressure came back down and I started to feel better. I was kept overnight and then I was sent to a heart specialist for tests. I had dozens of tests done and they all came back negative. My heart was strong and healthy.

It was determined that I had developed anxiety and that was what had caused my vision problem. They prescribed me Xanax and told me to take three pills a day. I did that for about a day and then I went off it. I was told they could be addictive and I didn’t want that to happen. About a month later I had another anxiety attack, so I started taking one Xanax a day.

I have never been one to rely on prescription drugs and I was very uncomfortable having to take this medication. I felt like I was just masking the symptoms and not addressing the cause. I started researching the underlying causes of stress and anxiety.

Although most of what I learned was geared towards learning how to relax, I discovered that diet played a large role in stress related anxiety. Caffeine, sugar, salt and high protein foods were to be avoided when possible. Fruits and vegetables were helpful. I figured I could not always control how much stress I was subject to, but I did have complete control over what I ate.

I started eating more fruit and vegetables and less meat. I started to have a little more energy and my anxiety attacks were less frequent but still occurring. I was still taking one Xanax a day and I was fearful of giving it up for the fear of more frequent anxiety attacks.

It seemed like I was in a constant battle with anxiety. I had no control over it and attacks would come out of nowhere and for no apparent reason. I have always been an extremely independent and confident person but now I was questioning my own abilities to function normally. My headaches were worse than ever and my optimistic outlook on life was starting to slip away. I was no longer the person I had always perceived myself as being.

I was quickly reaching a point where I was either going to have to find a way to overcome the anxiety or go on the full dosage of Xanax. I joined a self help stress forum on the internet and tried everything I could find about beating it. After several months I had made little progress, but I was still determined to stay off the full dosage of Xanax.

One night I was watching the movie Shallow Hal, with Gwyneth Paltrow and Jack Black, and I saw Tony Robbins in the movie. I had never heard of him before so I looked him up on the internet. Then it happened! I came across a youtube video of him talking about Alkalizing and Energizing. It was fascinating! He was talking about the pH balance of our body and how critical it is to our overall health.

I immediately started learning everything I could on the Alkaline/Acid balance. I learned that the quickest way to get rid of the acid in our blood and tissues is to do an alkaline cleanse. I had been eating highly acidic food my entire life; meat and potatoes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I decided I would try a cleanse. At that time, an Alkaline cleanse consisted of drinking a wheatgrass supplement and eating nothing but green vegetable soups for 10 to 30 days.

Although the wheatgrass tasted terrible and was very expensive and eating broccoli or salad for breakfast was hard to do, I was determined to give it a try. I started seeing results within the first week. My skin started to regain color and I had tons of energy. By the end of the third week I had lost twelve pounds, my headaches were gone, my diarrhea went away, my sinuses started to clear up and I no longer had mucus in my lungs. After 30 days I was feeling great. I looked and felt like a new person. I had lost a total of 18 lbs., but most importantly, I felt years younger. I was also much more relaxed, energetic and happy.

I went to my doctor for a check up shortly after the cleanse, and she was impressed. My blood pressure and cholesterol levels were perfect. She said I looked fantastic and wanted to know what I had done. When I told her, she was surprised. I told her I was going off the Xanax since I was feeling so great. That was the last day I ever took a Xanax. I had a couple of mild anxiety attacks the first six months after the cleanse and then they went away completely. It has now been several years and I have never had another one. Also, I have not suffered from headaches in years!

To me, the most amazing thing about my results was the fact that AFTER I completed my cleanse, the economic slowdown forced me to close up my 20 year old business and shut down my office. It was by far the most stressful time in my life and yet the anxiety did not come back. My body was back in balance and was working like it should.

After the amazing results I had on the cleanse, I decided I wanted to make an alkaline diet part of my daily lifestyle. When people asked me how I reversed my health issues, I would tell them about the cleanse. They would get excited and say they wanted to try it. Then I told them what they had to do and they would say there was no way they were going to eat broccoli for breakfast and drink something that tasted like lawn clippings.

I decided there was a need for an Alkalizing cleanse that could be more mainstream. I started working with nutritionists, scientists and University researchers to develop an alkalizing cleanse that would be simple to do, taste good, have only the most powerful alkalizing whole food nutrients available and solve the problem of what to eat for breakfast.

After several years of trial and error, The Alkaline Cleanse was born. The turning point came when we developed Opti-Blend Complete. An alkalizing breakfast meal replacer, high in protein and fiber. Eating an alkalizing breakfast was now fast, easy and delicious. It was a true breakthrough. pH Water Booster was designed to keep you hydrated and flush out the excess waste toxins, while supplying you with the antioxidant power of Green Tea and Revesterol. I chose it in a liquid concentrated form so it would be easy to take anywhere and would be simple to use. Finally, Evening Greens was designed to keep you hydrated and alkalized all night with over 70 different fruits, vegetables and vitamin super foods. All of these amazing supplements taste great, are specifically designed to work together and are made from the highest quality Super foods.

The Alkaline Cleanse can change your life. It will give you control over your health. As I said earlier, the only thing in life we really have control over, is what we put in our mouths.

To your success,

Preparing For Your CleanseBefore you start your cleanse, there are a few things I would like to go over with you:

1. If you are a serious coffee drinker, do not try to give up coffee cold turkey, it will not work. Here is what I want you to do;

a. Start drinking decaffeinated coffee a few days before you start your cleanse. For most people, drinking coffee is as much psychological as it is physical. It is part of your morning routine and drinking decaffeinated will eliminate most of the harmful caffeine, and your mind will be fooled by the coffee taste.

b. Get yourself down to one cup a day as soon as you can. Also, we are trying to break a routine, so have your coffee at a different time each morning.

c. Your cleanse includes extra pH Water Booster. Add a dropper full to a cup of hot water. It makes a delicious hot drink. You will get the same amount of energy as from your cup of coffee but you will feel much better.

2. If you have a tobacco addiction, you are not going to get the full benefit from this cleanse. However, you should still do it. Heres why; many people who smoke will still experience enough positive benefits, weight loss, increased energy, etc, that come from this cleanse that they will be motivated to finally quit smoking. This cleanse has the power to change lives!

3. If you have a serious sweet tooth, start cutting back on desserts and the sweet stuff a few days before you start your cleanse. After just a short time on this cleanse most people find that their sugar cravings subside.

4. Read through the Alkaline food list and stock up on the foods that you enjoy the most. I realize that most people do not crave alkaline food, but I am sure there are enough items on the list to satisfy anyone. Some people go their entire lives without eating an avocado or asparagus, etc, and are amazed at how good they taste when they finally eat them. Keep an open mind. Stick to the basics for the first week.

This was my daily routine for the first week when I did this cleanse;

• first thing, after waking up, I drank one serving of Opti-Blend Complete;

• followed by 30 minutes of walking and deep breathing;

• a handful of raw almonds mid-morning;

• about an hour before lunch I had my mid-morning drink of pH Water Booster;

• a big salad for lunch with lots of tomatoes, avocados and cucumbers

• an avocado for a mid day snack;

• about an hour before dinner, I had my afternoon drink of pH Water Booster;

• dinner of a salad, followed by asparagus and chicken breast cooked in a frying pan with a little olive oil;

• a whole grapefruit for an evening snack;

• 20 to 30 minutes of walking or bicycling or a relaxing hot bath;

• evening drink of Evening Greens about two hours before bed.

As you can see, I kept it very basic. It was very easy for me to do and I had fantastic results. So, go through the Alkaline food list, pick out foods you will enjoy and stock up on them. It is best to look at this cleanse as one week at a time. You don’t want to overwhelm yourself before you even get started. As you start seeing and feeling the results of this cleanse, your mindset towards alkaline foods will change and you will actually start preferring them over the foods you have been eating.

5. Be sure to pick up some unrefined all natural sea salt. Sea salt is good for you and it will help eliminate those urges for salty snacks, such as chips. You can use it on cucumbers, tomatoes, asparagus, etc.

6. Get your head in the game! Although not everyone completes this cleanse, to date no one has completed this cleanse and regretted it! The results are that amazing! People who experience the best results from this cleanse, are the ones who have mentally prepared themselves for the changes they were about to make. No one can make you do this, it is entirely up to you. The supplements that you purchased from us were designed to give your body the nutrients and alkalinity needed for quick, powerful results. However, it is still up to you to add the proper whole foods required for this cleanse to work. Do not think you can make extraordinary changes eating Big Macs and taking our supplements. It won’t happen! We have done our part in developing a superior product and getting it in your hands, but the real power behind this cleanse will come from YOU! Twenty one days will go by very fast... get your mindset where you need it to be and DO IT!

7. Many Health Food stores carry prepared healthy meals. If you are very busy and don’t have time to cook, you should look into this. Costco has a great selection of pre-cooked foods such as veggie burgers and chicken burgers (Sabatino’s Spinach Chicken Patties). I have tried several of them and they are delicious. Although, they are somewhat processed foods and not the ideal cleanse food, if you just don’t have the time for cooking, they would make a suitable alternative to skinless chicken breasts.

8. Pick up one or two good water bottles. Look at the chart below to determine how much water you will need to add to each serving of supplement.

If you weigh:

150 lbs. or less. ..add approximately 18 oz. of water with each serving of supplement.

175 lbs. ..add approximately 22 oz. of water with each serving of supplement.

200 lbs. ..add approximately 25 oz. of water with each serving of supplement.

225 lbs. ..add approximately 25 oz. of water with each serving of supplement, plus one serving of 12 oz. of plain water once a day.

250 lbs. ..add approximately 25 oz. of water with each serving of supplement, plus one extra serving of 25 oz. of plain water once a day.

275 lbs. ..add approximately 25 oz. of water with each serving of supplement, plus two extra serving of 18 oz. of plain water twice a day.

300 lbs.+ ..add approximately 25 oz. of water with each serving of supplement, plus two extra serving of 25 oz. of plain water twice a day.

Get a water bottle that is bigger than the amount of water needed. That way there is room for the supplement. A water bottle with a wide opening will work the best for the Opti-Blend Complete and Evening Greens. You can have a separate water bottle to take with you during the day for the pH Water Booster*, or you can just pick up bottled water during the day and add Water Booster to it.

*pH Water Booster - you may have to prime the dropper a few times when you first open pH Water Booster. If the dropper seems plugged up, remove the dropper from the bottle and run the dropper under warm water while squeezing it and it should start working fine.

The Alkaline Cleanse You are going to need your Alkaline Cleanse supplements. If you haven’t done so already you can order them at www.thealkalineresearchgroup.com

1. When you open your eyes in the morning- GET UP. Don’t lay around idle, this is the start of the healthy new you. Remember, movement is critical to your health, so lets get started.

2. Head in to the kitchen and get your Morning drink ready. Grab your water bottle and add two scoops of Opti-Blend Complete, then add 18 to 25* oz. of moderately cold water. Be sure to shake well and drink it all before eating anything else. Your body was in a fast all night and is dehydrated, our alkaline drink is designed to give your body the nutrients it needs for your cells to perform at their optimum level and flood your system with alkalinity.

3. After you have finished drinking your morning alkaline drink, give yourself about fifteen minutes of alone time (30 minutes or more would be better). This will give your body a chance to absorb the nutrients of the Opti-Blend. Going for a quick walk would be ideal. Remember to breathe deeply as you walk. Count to four as you inhale through your nose, hold for a few seconds and exhale through your mouth as you count to four. If you are unable to go for a walk, spend this time practicing your deep breathing. Find a quiet place in your home where you can be alone and spend about 15 to 20 minutes with your eyes closed, deep breathing and visualizing how you will look and feel when you get done with this cleanse. Visualization is a very powerful tool.

4. Before lunch, grab your water bottle, pour in 18 to 25* oz. of water and add one dropper full of pH Water Booster. Wait at least an hour after you’ve finished your breakfast before you start drinking it. Drink this anytime in between, after breakfast and lunch.

5. For lunch, have a salad and green soup or any combination on the Alkaline food list. Keep your portion moderate. Eat slowly. You don’t need to drink a lot of water with your meal, it slows down your digestion and you are getting plenty of fluid already.

6. After lunch, grab your water bottle, pour in 18 to 25* oz. of water and add one dropper full of pH Water Booster. Wait at least an hour after you finished your lunch before you start drinking it. Drink this anytime between lunch and dinner. Keep hydrated.

7. For an afternoon snack, have a handful of raw almonds or some cucumbers. Keep it simple. Remember, this cleanse is only 21 days. The simpler you can keep it the more likely you are to stick with it.

8. For dinner, have a salad and any other combination on the alkaline food list. Eat in moderation. You are not trying to starve yourself. However, you want to train yourself to eat moderate portions.

9. Mix up another 18 to 25* oz. of water and add one scoop of Evening Greens. Drink this between dinner and bedtime. Wait about an hour after dinner before you start drinking the mix. Remember to practice your breathing. We want to get your oxygen level up and your lymphatic system flowing.

You should drink about half your body weight of supplements/water in ounces a day. So if you weigh 200 lbs., you will drink 100 oz. a day if you add 25 oz. of water with each serving of supplement. If you weigh over 200 lbs. you will want to drink extra water. For example, if you weigh 300 lbs. you will want to drink two extra 25 oz. servings of water during the day in addition to the water you drank with the supplements. If you weigh 250 lbs., you would drink one extra 25 oz. of plain water. It is very important to drink your Opti-Blend Complete on an empty stomach first thing in the morning after waking.

*How much water should you add to each serving of supplement?

If you weigh:

150 lbs. or less...add approximately 18 oz. of water with each serving of supplement.

175 lbs...add approximately 22 oz. of water with each serving of supplement.

200 lbs...add approximately 25 oz. of water with each serving of supplement.

225 lbs...add approximately 25 oz. of water with each serving of supplement, plus one serving of 12 oz. of plain water once a day.

250 lbs...add approximately 25 oz. of water with each serving of supplement, plus one extra serving of 25 oz. of plain water once a day.

275 lbs... add approximately 25 oz. of water with each serving of supplement, plus two extra serving of 18 oz. of plain water twice a day.

300 lbs+...add approximately 25 oz. of water with each serving of supplement, plus two extra serving of 25 oz. of plain water twice a day.

Fruits

Although most fruits are alkaline, sweet fruits contain natural sugars. Try to limit your consumption of fruit to not more than 20% of your diet during the cleanse. Generally, the sweeter the fruit, the more sugars they contain. If you are having major acidic symptoms, you may want to avoid sweet fruit altogether during the cleanse.

Since fruits contain simple sugars, they digest very fast in your stomach. Instead of eating fruit with your meal, you should eat fruit by themselves, 15 to 30 minutes before your meal.

Avocado and Grapefruit

For great results, eat one avocado and one grapefruit daily while on the cleanse.

Salads

Always keep a salad mixed up and ready to go in the refrigerator. Find a big tupperware bowl or something similar and prepare enough for several days. The idea is to fill up on salad before you have any meat. In a true cleanse, you would avoid all meats. The supplements we have provided you are very high quality and powerful, so chicken breasts are allowed on this cleanse. You can add chicken breasts to salads if you prefer also. Having some pre-cooked chicken breast in the refrigerator may also make things easier.

A Few Things to be Aware of

1. You may experience mild headaches the first few days of the cleanse. This is nothing to worry about. It is just a result of toxin's being expelled through your bloodstream. Only about 10% of people experience even mild headaches. If you feel that you need to take an aspirin, then you are detoxifying too rapidly. This will not harm you, however you should cut your servings to half portions for a day or so to avoid the headaches.

2. Your urine may have a toxic smell to it. This is completely normal and is actually good news. The cleanse is working as it should be.

3. You will probably notice that your bowel movements will have little or no odor after the first week.

4. You will have much more energy after the second week and may want to start working out to lose even more weight. This cleanse is about giving your body a break, so it is important for you not to over stress your body by working out hard. If you are exercising and find yourself out of breath and working up a sweat, you are working out to hard.

Getting Started: Day One and TwoKeep an open mind. I know this is a new routine, but it will be worth it. Starting will be the hardest part. This course is only 21 days. Think how fast the last 21 days just went by, it is really not a long time. Pull out an old photo of yourself, one when you looked and felt your best. In no time at all, you will feel that way again, or better.

A large part of this course is developing new habits and breaking the destructive ones. That is why you need to get up a little earlier and start moving. If you live in an area where you can go for a walk, please do it. The fresh air will do you good. If the weather is bad or you can’t go outside, then substitute. The important thing is to start your day with activity. Walk in place if you have to. Jumping jacks? Be creative. Focus on the big picture – getting healthy, cleansing your body and losing weight. The object is to get the fluids flowing, not physically working out at this point, so take it easy.

If you really want results, then tell as many close friends as you can, what you are doing. Tell them you are giving your body a break for the next three weeks and you want their support. After a few days they will start to notice you looking better and they will be very supportive of you.

For the duration of this course it is very important for you to practice deep breathing. You can do this while you go for your walk, in your car on the way to work, or even while you are in the shower. Count to four as you inhale deeply through your nose, hold for a few seconds and slowly exhale through your mouth as you count to four. Remember, breathe from the stomach. You can add an incantation if you want to while doing your breathing exercise, such as: healthier, healthier, every day (as you inhale)… stronger, stronger, every way (as you exhale). Try it right now.

If you are a coffee drinker, the first few days will be tough. Some people will feel irritable, drowsy and experience headaches and anxiety as they stop drinking caffeine. These side effects are short lived. It is very important that you give up caffeine during this cleanse. Try some all-natural, caffeine free tea.

When you consume caffeine, your body produces Cortisol, a stress hormone. You are not going to give your body a break if you are producing high levels of stress hormones, such as Cortisol. It will also make it a lot harder for you to lose belly fat if you are producing Cortisol.

The Alkaline Cleanse

Keep it Simple

Get an extra water bottlePick up an extra water bottle. Don’t add water. Throw it in your car or keep it at work for a backup if needed.

Keep your diet basicDon’t go crazy trying to make fancy alkaline meals at first, unless you have extra time. This cleanse is short and you don’t want to burn-out by adding pressure to yourself.

Todays Project

WalkingStart planning your walking routine. Decide what time of day will work best for your daily walk if you can’t do it first thing in the morning. You need to set aside at least 15 to 30 minutes a day of low impact exercise.

Trampoline15 minutes on a trampoline would be an ideal way to get your body moving and you breathing.

Day

1 & 2

Day Three How do you feel? Are you noticing some changes? You may notice that you are starting to relax. Have you been doing the breathing exercises? I’m going to be a stickler on this one; it is something you have to do. Hopefully you answered yes and you are starting to enjoy the results.

Are you walking? Remember, get up and start moving! The walks will give you some needed alone time, so I hope you are enjoying them. I have another exercise for you while you are on your walk. Spend a few minutes visualizing all the people in your life you are thankful for. List them off, out loud if you can. You will be amazed at how good this feels. After a while you can add not just people, but anything in your life you are thankful for. What a great way to start your day. Walk around your living room if that’s all that is available. If you have the will, you will find a way!

Today would be a good day to practice relaxing, even if it’s just a hot bath. Remember to improvise and pamper yourself, you deserve it. You are taking control of your health and that shows you have character. Be proud of yourself.

The supplements are a critical part of this cleanse and were designed to get you maximum results. Make sure you are taking them! You probably noticed your urine is much clearer, and may have a toxic type odor. That is to be expected, so don’t worry.

If you are having caffeine withdrawal symptoms, they should be gone by tomorrow. If you were a serious coffee drinker and are thinking of giving up the cleanse because of the withdrawal symptoms, then try drinking decaffeinated coffee for this first week. There is still caffeine in decaffeinated coffee, however it would be better for you to do this than to give up the cleanse. It would be better to lose that battle, than to lose the war, as the saying goes. Remember the goal is to get healthier, not to be perfect.

Speaking of being perfect, please don’t give up just because you cheat on your eating once in a while. Put it behind you and keep going, tomorrow you will be stronger. You can always extend the cleanse a day or two to make up for it.

Keep it Simple Evening Greens Be sure not to take your Evening Greens to close to bedtime. You don’t want to interrupt your sleep by having to get up to use the bathroom. Usually two hours before bed will do the trick.

Get a jump rope If the weather is bad or you just can’t get outside to walk, a jump rope will get you the same results in the privacy of your own home.

Day Four

Proper BreathingProper breathing is one of the key elements for a healthy body. Most adults breathe shallow and rapidly and that is not the proper way to breathe. Your lymphatic system will perform at it’s best when you breathe deeply. All of your body’s major systems are dependent on a healthy lymphatic system.

"If I had to limit my advice on healthier living to just one tip, it would be simply to learn how to breathe correctly."

-Dr. Andrew Weil, Harvard Medical

How do you breathe correctly? The best oxygen exchanges take place in the lower lobes of the lungs. That's where the "belly breathing" comes from - breathing deep around the navel instead of the upper chest.

First, test your current breathing pattern:1. Begin by lying flat on your back or standing up straight.

You may also sit up straight in a chair, if that is more comfortable.

2. Place one hand on your stomach area and one hand on your chest.

3. Breathe as you normally would and notice whether your "stomach" hand rises or your "chest" hand rises.

4. To breathe properly, your stomach area must rise more than your chest as your diaphragm expands.

Second, Learn the proper breathing technique:1. To learn to breathe correctly, begin by slowly breathing in

through your nose through the count of 4. While you inhale, pause for a brief second on each number.

2. Hold the breath for a count of 4.3. Slowly exhale through your mouth for a count of 4. (Some

call this 4-4-4 breathing.) When you exhale, pause for a brief second on each number.

4. Repeat this process three more times (for a total of four breaths.) Do not do more than four breaths at first - with practice, you can work your way up to eight breaths. Do this twice each day.

5. Increase the number of breaths each day until you can do the exercise for at least eight breaths twice per day.

The Alkaline Cleanse

Day

4

Keep it Simple

Opti-Blend CompleteSince you are drinking Opti-Blend Complete first thing after waking up, you shouldn’t add ice to your drink. It will slow down your digestion and absorption of the nutrients.

Whole Raw Almonds

Be sure to soak almonds in water overnight before eating. Your body will have a much easier time digesting them and they will be easier on your teeth.

Relax

iPad app

If you own an iPad, iPhone or iPod, there is a great app called “pzizz relax”. It is available on the iTunes store under the Healthcare and Fitness section. This is a great little app for relaxing. It literally melts your stress away in minutes.

Day FiveAvocados, Tomatoes and Lemons:

Lets start with avocados. Avocados are probably the best all around alkalizing food you can eat. You should eat one every day while on this cleanse.

Avocados are bursting with nutrients--vitamins, A, B-complex, C, E, H, K, and folic acid, plus the minerals magnesium, copper, iron, calcium, potassium and many other trace elements. Avocados provide all of the essential amino acids (those that must be provided by our diet), with 18 amino acids in all, plus 7 fatty acids, including Omega 3 and 6. Avocados are a great source of protein (they contain more protein than cows milk), essential fatty acids, and chlorophyll, while containing no starch, very little sugar and are very easily digested. Avocados also help lower cholesterol.

Tomatoes are thought of as a vegetable, but they are actually a fruit. Like avocados, tomatoes are low in sugar and are loaded with antioxidants. Tomatoes also contain Lycopene, which is thought to prevent cancerous conditions in the breast, prostate and cervix. They are at their most alkalizing when eaten raw.

Lemons are acidic in nature, but are alkalizing to the body because of their high content of sodium and potassium bicarbonate salts. They also contain an abundance of oxygen and have very little acid sugar.

Adding avocados, tomatoes and lemon to your salad is a fantastic way to alkalize. They actually work better together than separately because the lutein and lycopene found in tomatoes and avocados produce the best results when combined.

Did You Know

BreakfastBreakfast is the first meal after many hours of fasting (while you sleep). Your body is depleted of fuel (food) and is craving the nutrients that it needs for cell growth and repair.

Because we are sleeping for a long time, our bodies do not need to be exerting energy. The metabolism slows down and our blood sugar drops by the time we wake in the morning. When you eat a healthy breakfast, it ends that long fasting period and allows your body to speed up the metabolism, which in turn boosts your energy level.

When you eat breakfast, research shows that your body's production of leptin, which is a hormone, suppresses appetite and you feel full. Those who eat breakfast feel full until lunchtime. Because they do not get hungry in-between breakfast and lunch they don't snack or graze eat, which adds extra calories.

Day SixYou are almost done with your first week! You should be feeling that extra energy by now. If you started your cleanse on a Monday then today is Saturday. That means today will be a different routine than what you have become accustomed to so far on this cleanse. That may be a bad thing, so lets make sure you keep yourself busy today.

You want to make sure that you don’t start obsessing about food, since you will probably have more free time than you did all week. A good way to stay on track is to make it easy too. Here are a few things you can do to make it easier for yourself: prepare a few salads to keep in the fridge, have a bowl full of almonds always available, cut up some cucumbers, carrots and broccoli and keep refrigerated, so they are available.

If you are still having junk food cravings pick up a bag of “TERRA” exotic vegetable chips (in the health food section of most grocery stores). They taste great and they will satisfy your salt cravings. Do not eat the whole bag; they are a snack, not a meal. Are they cleansing food? Not really, but they are better than most junk food.

It is very important for you to stay focused on what you are trying to accomplish by doing this cleanse. Your goal is not to eat healthy; your goal is to get healthy. Why do I say that? I say that because, the ultimate goal for this cleanse is to get your body back in balance, so that your body can take care of you and keep you healthy. We are using supplements, food, breathing, movement and relaxation as MEDICINE for your body. From time to time, everyone will eat acidic foods during this cleanse, it is very important that you don’t think of that as not achieving your goal. Although it will slow you down from reaching your ultimate goal, never let that stop you from moving forward.

As I said before: Change your beliefs about food and you will make extraordinary changes to your health. It will just come naturally for you; like walking, or sleeping. In this course we are going to use results to change your beliefs. By the end of this cleanse, you will be thinner, more relaxed, younger looking, more energetic and happy. Because of the food choices and simple lifestyle changes you have made. Now that is change you will believe in.

Green Tea

Drinking green tea will help keep you healthy and looking and feeling younger is a fact that has been known in China for almost five thousand years.

The beneficial effects, especially as an antioxidant, have been clearly shown to help prevent cancers, keep the mind alert and calm, lower stress levels, has shown some help in diabetes and Alzheimer's as well as regulating hormonal imbalances and decreasing bad breath.

Studies performed at the Kyushu University of Japan have shown a significant effect of shrinking lung cancer cells with the consumption of two or more cups of green tea a day.

pH Water Booster has the daily equivalent of 15 cups of Green Tea. With so many proven benefits from this simple organic drink it is not surprising that drinking green tea continues to increase throughout the world.

Day Seven Why is this cleanse so focused on staying hydrated with alkaline supplemented water? Here is what Dr. Young says about the water in his book, “The pH Miracle”.

“Water helps process just about every biological, mechanical, and chemical action that takes place in your body. It cushions and protects vital organs, transports nutrients within each cell, and dispels acidic waste. Your lungs need water to humidify the air they move. The digestive system uses several gallons of water daily to process food. Your brain needs water to perform the chemical reactions required to run your body. Your pancreas uses water to alkalize food coming out of the stomach and into the intestines. Water keeps your skin soft and supple, increases oxygen in the blood, and maintains normal electrical properties of the cells, improving cell to cell communication.”

The average person is chronically dehydrated, you probably were too before going on this cleanse. If you are even mildly dehydrated, your metabolism will be slowed down by as much as 3 percent. Also, most people misinterpret their bodies thirst signals, for hunger pangs, causing them to eat more.

The body uses water to neutralize acids, and dilute toxins, so they can be flushed from your body, via sweat, urination and bowel movements. When your body is dehydrated, you are acidic, and you are going to retain fluids causing you to feel bloated and look fatter than you should be. Dehydration will also cause your body to go into preservation mode and start storing fat. So, are you drinking your Supplements? Good job!

Some Signs of Dehydration;

• Tired and weak

• Dizziness

• Lack of concentration

• Dry skin

• Headaches

• Impatience

• Cold hands and feet

Chronic dehydration symptoms include joint and back pain, acid reflux, migraines, constipation and colitis. Other conditions linked to chronic dehydration include asthma, diabetes, anxiety, rashes and allergies. Water is medicine; use it liberally!

Organic Foods Equal Improved Health

Organic food is food that is free from all genetically modified organisms, produced without artificial pesticides and fertilizers and derived from an animal reared without the routine use of antibiotics, growth promoters or other drugs. Once only available in small stores or farmers' markets, organic foods are becoming much more widely available.

Organic foods have been shown to improve your immune system, help you sleep better, shed the excess weight more easily, and improve your blood just to name a few. Organic food can boast intense, realistic flavors, and a higher vitamin and mineral content.

And though logically it makes sense to consume a diet based on organic foods, some worry about the cost. But with careful planning and preparation, going organic is actually quite affordable and worth the extra money spent.

Day

Day EightYou made it through your first week. Great. Now let’s keep going. Have you ever said to yourself; “If I would have known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself”. I know I’ve said it in the past.

Work hard and play hard is a common philosophy, and it is a good one too. The problem is that many people confuse playing hard to making poor choices. You know, the ones you later regret. It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt, and that someone is usually you. The reality is life is a gift! We should all live as if this was our last day on earth, but plan as if we will live to be a hundred.

The foundation for all happiness is your emotional state and your emotional state is directly dependent on your body being in balance. If your body is wasting all it’s time fighting for survival, fending off illnesses, and diseases, stress and anxiety, you will not be capable of living life to it’s fullest.

There is a direct correlation between youth and happiness. Why is that? Although there are always exceptions, most children are (or were) energetic and happy. Think about it. How many 8 year olds smoke, drink alcohol, do drugs, stay up at night worrying, or engage in other self destructive behavior? Not many. Most kids are (or were) active and are (or were) encouraged to eat properly and drink plenty of fluids.

So as children we are encouraged to be active, stay hydrated; eat healthy and live with a minimum of stress. Hmm, sounds like this cleanse, doesn’t it?

As we grow older and are conditioned into mainstream western society of poor eating, desk jobs, and the financial stress of keeping up, we start to lose that energy and happiness of our youth. But something else also happens: we slowly start to build up acid and toxins in our bodies. It takes time, years usually, for us to slowly start to poison ourselves. We literally begin rotting from the inside out. That is why it goes unnoticed until it reaches the breaking point and symptoms of disease start to show up. We then act surprised! We say things like, I used to be so fit and healthy, how can this be happening to me? It’s not fair.

Some of us are genetically inclined to diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes and stroke. If you keep your body in an acidic state long enough and you have a genetic weakness in a particular area, then that is where you are going to develop problems. Your body will sacrifice the weakest area in the hopes that the rest can survive.

This cleanse is going to stop all that, and put you back in balance. Food, fluids, movement and relaxation are medicine, and you are turning back the clock.

Allergies“The toxins produced by microforms within an overly acidic, oxygen-deprived body contribute significantly to what are commonly considered the symptoms of allergy. The exotoxins and/or mycotoxins severely stress the immune system, so it is constantly stimulated, overworked, and on edge.

If you had no symptom-producing acid and/or bacteria, yeast, and fungus, it would be impossible for you to have allergies - another reason to keep your body in pH balance. Allergies are 100% reversible with an alkaline diet and lifestyle.”

- Dr. Robert Young, The pH Miracle

Day NineOne of the greatest benefits of this cleanse is the weight loss. If you have been trying to lose weight and just can’t seem to shed those pounds, this cleanse will change that. You will lose fat from those stubborn areas too.

When your body is acidic, it goes into survival mode. That means your body will try to protect your vital organs. Those organs are located in your chest, stomach and hip area. So your body will store reserves of fat in those areas for an alkaline buffer to protect the vital organs. Your body is trying to save your life!

No matter how much you diet or exercise, if you keep yourself acidic, you will not lose that weight. You may starve yourself and lose some of it, but your body will immediately start storing the fat cells it needs to buffer the acid as soon as it gets acidic food again. That is why most diets don’t work. It is impossible to keep weight off if you are acidic.

When your body is acidic (think of acidic as polluted) it is also the perfect environment for yeast and bacteria. Remember, your body is mostly water, you know what polluted water looks like. As the yeast and bacteria feed on your blood sugar they excrete acid waste and add even more pollution to your system, and the problem compounds. This causes you to have sugar cravings, resulting in even more weight gain. The more weight you gain, the more strain you put on your body; the more stress you put on your body, the more acidic it becomes.

It is up to you to break this cycle! No one is going to do it for you. Doctors will treat you for your symptoms, usually with prescription drugs that mask the symptoms, but only you can break the cycle. Change your beliefs about food and you will make extraordinary changes to your health and your weight.

The Alkaline Cleanse

An Old IdeaThe concept of acid alkaline imbalance as the cause of disease is not new. In 1933 a New York doctor named William Howard Hay pub l ished a ground-breaking book, A New H e a l t h E r a i n w h i c h h e maintains that all disease is caused by autotoxication (or "self-poisoning") due to acidosis in the body.

“Now we depart from health in just the proportion to which we have allowed our alkalis to be dissipated by introduction of acid-forming food in to great amount... It may seem strange to say that all disease is the same thing, no matter what its myriad modes of expression, but it is verily so.”- William Howard Hay, M.D.

More recently, in his remarkable book Alkalize or Die , Dr. Theodore A. Baroody says essentially the same thing:“The count less names of illnesses do not really matter. What does matter is that they all come from the same root cause...too much tissue acid

waste in the body”

- Theodore A. Baroody, N.D., D.C., Ph.D.

Day TenBy now, you should have some kind of a routine going for your cleanse. Are you keeping it simple? I know most people live very busy lives and do not have a lot of extra time. If you haven’t found a way to take morning walks, maybe you can take the stairs instead of the elevator at work. Maybe walk a few blocks before taking a cab. Remember to improvise. Movement is critical to your health, both physically and mentally. If you have started walking more, then congratulations.

Have you ever noticed that some people always seem so happy and other people are never satisfied with their life? What is it that makes some people so content with their life? We all have a subconscious idea of what our life should be like. When someone’s life meets the expectations they had for their life, they are content. Does your life meet the expectations you had for yourself? If you answered yes, then congratulations. However if you answered no, then what are you going to do about it?

What if your expectations were to have your house paid off by the time you were forty and you are now thirty nine and you still have ten more years to go before your house is paid off. What are your options? You can either change the expectation you made for yourself and be content with the fact that it just didn’t work out like you thought it would, or you can change your environment. You could sell the house and use the equity you built up to buy a less expensive house. Either one of these options would resolve the conflict you created for yourself.

The point is, in order to be content; our expectations need to be in balance with our current situation. I know this sounds rather obvious, but most of us go through life being frustrated or disappointed, day after day, because we haven’t resolved our conflicts. These disappointing expectations can be big or small things. Perhaps you have a dog that drives you crazy because it barks uncontrollably every time someone comes to the door? Is he living up to your expectations? You can either accept that is how he is, or you can bring in a trainer to stop the barking. Again you either change your expectations or change the environment. Either way, you will no longer be dissatisfied with the dog.

Take a few minutes to think about the things in your life that are in conflict with your expectations. Then take action to resolve them.

Osteoporosis and GoutHuman bones function as a calcium bank for the body. A combination of calcium and phosphorus, bones stay healthy as long as there are adequate a m o u n t s o f t h e s e t w o s u b s t a n c e s p r e s e n t . To neutralize excessive quantities of waste or acidity, the body starts to deprive the bones of calcium, which may be harmful to the body. Symptoms of calcium deficiency are not e v i d e n t t h r o u g h X - r a y examinations and are only visible when 30-40% of the calcium in the bone has already been depleted.

A recent seven year study conducted at the University of California, San Francisco, on 9,000 women, showed that t h o s e w h o h a v e c h r o n i c acidosis are at greater risk for bone loss than those who have normal pH levels. The scientists who carried out this experiment believe that many of the hip fractures prevalent among m i d d l e a g e d w o me n a re connected to high acidi ty caused by a diet rich in animal foods and low in vegetables. This is because the body borrows calcium from the bones in order to balance pH.- American Journal of Clinical Nutrition

Day ElevenToday is a very important day. You are at that point in the cleanse where most people will give up. They sabotage themselves. This may sound strange, but we all have a subconscious idea of who we are and what we deserve. Sometimes when we make massive changes and when we start reaping the rewards of those changes, our subconscious perceives this as being unfair.

For years you may have lived with an identity of yourself that is now different than the person you are becoming. Some people will feel guilty about this. You may have family members who are overweight, unhealthy or depressed. They may even start to unconsciously resent the fact that you are changing and they are not. You may not be aware that this is happening, but your subconscious is.

Think about the last time you flew on a commercial jet. Remember the safety drill they do before each flight. They instruct you to put on your air mask first, in the event of a loss in cabin pressure, before putting on your child’s mask. They know that if you don’t protect yourself first, you may not be able to help those who are dependent on you.

The same thing applies to this cleanse, when you get yourself healthy, you will inspire others to change also. So don’t give up. You have worked very hard to get to this point.

To help keep you on track today, go back and read about the effects of being acidic. You must convince yourself to stay the course. Visualize what your life will be like when you are no longer acidic and you have reserves of energy and a fit and trim body to do all the things you have dreamed of. How much more energy will you have for your kids and family?

Remember this; a man will jeopardize his health in order to achieve fame and fortune, but once he achieves wealth and realizes his health is in jeopardy, he will give it all up to get his health back.

Chronic ConstipationDr. Choi, a medical practitioner at the Seoul National Medical University, observed 15 patients (10 men and 5 women) who had suffered from constipation for over a year. Results showed t h a t t h e s y m p t o m s o f constipation were alleviated when alkaline supplements were consumed for a period of 1-2 weeks. Twelve of the fifteen patients recovered remarkably well after this period. This is true because by lubricating the wastes secreted on the walls of the large intestine, excretion becomes easier.

HypertensionHypertension is a commonillness that occurs due to three reasons.1) Hypertension caused by clogged capillary vessels due to physical reasons.2) Narrowed blood vessels caused by acidic wastes.Thus, blood pressure has to be higher naturally in order to supply sufficient quantities of blood through the narrow vessels.3) Lack of oxygen due to chemical reasons, namely solidified acidic waste in the vessels.

Day Twelve Most people are unaware that their lymphatic system pumps lymph throughout their body. It acts as a sewage system, carrying toxins and dead cells out of the body. You actually have three times as much lymphatic fluid in your body as you do blood, about 45 pints of fluid. Unlike the blood, which is moved by the pumping of our heart, lymph fluid is entirely dependent on body movement for circulation.

Lymph fluid flows through your body by means of muscle contraction and deep breathing. This contraction squeezes the lymph throughout a series of valves. The lymph carries toxins to the lungs and is expelled through exhaling. Oxygen carried by the blood to the capillaries, are absorbed into the lymph fluid that covers the cells in our bodies. The cells absorb the oxygen and secrete toxins, which are excreted back to the capillaries. Dead cells, blood proteins, and other toxins are removed through the lymphatic system.

The lymph is drained in the blood, through the two ducts at the bottom of your neck. From these ducts, the lymph travels to the thoracic duct. This entire action is dependent on deep breathing. When we breathe deeply it massages the thoracic duct allowing an abundant flow of fluid. The duct releases the lymph back into the veins, where it returns into an element of blood. The lymph then goes into the liver, where it is metabolized and filtered through the kidneys.

Your lymphatic system is designed for daily exercise and movement, otherwise it will become stagnant and the toxins will become trapped in your body. The longer these toxins are trapped in your body the more you will be susceptible to infections and disease.

Another function of the lymphatic system is producing antibodies, which fight viruses and bacteria, and destroying abnormal cells, such as cancer cells.

Any exercise that gets you breathing, such as fast walking, swimming, bicycling or jogging will keep your lymphatic system healthy.

DiabetesWhen acidic wastes accumulate in the pancreas, diabetes can develop due to lack of insulin in the body.Dr. Robert Young states in his book, The pH Miracle, “The more sugar or acid we eat, the more we risk an increase in bacteria, yeasts and mold. Their mycotoxins waste penetrate, overwork and poison the p a n c r e a s . T h e p a n c r e a s produces alkalizing buffers and insulin. This is the acidic condition that leads to diabetes. By drinking plenty of healthy water and cleansing we can keep the pancreas healthy by flushing out the mycotoxins.”

K i d n e y A i l m e n t a n d Kidney StoneOne of the major functions of an alkaline cleanse is to purify or help remove the wastes in the body. The accumulation of excessive wastes in the kidneys weakens the kidneys. When cells survive in an excessive acidic environment, swelling of the kidneys occurs.In order to remain healthy, cells should expel all the waste produced by them. But if the blood becomes more acidic then the waste will cling to the w a l l s o f c e l l s , c a u s i n g solidification of acidic fluoride in the kidneys and kidney stones.

Day ThirteenOur Alkaline Cleanse supplements are loaded with antioxidants!

There are so many benefits to antioxidants. Not only do most antioxidant rich foods taste great, they are also fantastic for your insides and outside.

Just a few of the benefits of antioxidants are their anti-aging properties, their skin clearing abilities and of course, the possibility they can help prevent and repair cancer damaged cells.

Antioxidants keep you looking younger longer.

It is a scientific fact that antioxidants will preserve your youth, and that in itself is reason enough to ensure you are eating the foods required to maintain the antioxidant levels required to keep you looking young.

Antioxidants clear your skin.

This is one benefit of antioxidants I can personally vouch for - since I began consuming antioxidant rich foods on a regular basis, my skin has transformed into a glowing, clear complexion. Since antioxidants fight free radicals (cell damaging agents), it is only natural that their benefits will show through on your skin.

Antioxidants and cancer

There are continual tests and studies going on in the scientific world to see just what effect, if any, antioxidants have on preventing and fighting cancer.

There is no doubt that antioxidants have some effect on the cells in the body - and it is these cells which can become cancerous. So is there a link between antioxidants and cancer prevention?

Well, if you eat antioxidant rich foods regularly, these antioxidants will reduce the free radicals in your body. Free radicals damage cells and cell walls as well as the genetic material inside your cells! For this reason, nutritionists recommend an antioxidant rich diet.

Your body will thank you for it in years to come!

CancerSince all cells are living organisms they require oxygen. However when our b lood and body f l u ids become acidic, the amount of oxygen in the blood becomes severely reduced. Because of this lack of oxygen it is common for cells to become damaged. It is the damaged cells that become malignant cells. Malignant cells grow indefinitely and without order. This is cancer.

Day FourteenLet’s talk about exercising today. By now you should be feeling more energetic and more focused and may be thinking about increasing your amount of exercise. It is very important during this cleanse to not over-stress your body. This cleanse is about giving your body a rest and allowing your systems to rebuild themselves at the cellular level.

We want to limit our exercise to a moderate level, just enough to get your Lymph fluids moving and the oxygen flowing. Walking, fast walking, jumping rope, jumping on a trampoline, swimming or bicycling are all great ways to get moderate amounts of exercise. If you are finding that you are working up a sweat and are gasping for air, you are overdoing it at this point.

Although we discussed this earlier, this is a great workout for the duration of this cleanse:

Wake up 30 minutes earlier than normal.

Drink your morning Opti-Blend Complete.

Spend about 5 minutes stretching.

Walk, bicycle, jump rope, etc for about 20 minutes.

Practice your breathing exercises for about 5 minutes.

As you can see, it is a very basic exercise routine. However, it will produce amazing results while on this cleanse.

Many people who are acidic suffer stress related symptoms or even anxiety. Excess stress is one of the hardest things to eliminate from your daily routine and stress symptoms may linger for quite some time or may be hiding just below the surface, waiting to appear at the slightest sign of stress. A hard workout will stress your body and can easily reverse the progress you have been making on this cleanse. So be very careful not to over do it.

Day FifteenTurn Your Morning Shower Into A Spa...

As I have mentioned before, this cleanse is about developing new routines and giving your body a break. This is a great time to learn how to pamper yourself. Not only will it help you learn to relax, but you will also be developing habits that will help you to be more calm natured, stress free and more healthy.

If your morning routine includes showering, this is a great time to start pampering yourself. You can do this without adding much additional time to your morning routine.

First of all pick up a few body cleansing products such as, a body wash gel, some deep cleaning facial scrub, body exfoliating wash and some good deep penetrating moisture body wash. Olay and Neutrogena both make great products.

When you get in the shower, spend a few minutes just relaxing and stretching under the hot water. Breathe deeply, relax your muscles and visualize yourself walking on a beautiful beach somewhere. Use the deep cleaning facial wash and give your face a gentle scrubbing. Next use your body wash in replace of a bar of soap, then use the body exfoliating wash and gently give your entire body a good scrubbing. Take your time, relax and enjoy. Finally use the deep penetrating moisture body wash to finish up.

You will be surprised at how good this feels, while only adding a few more minutes to your morning routine. This cleanse is helping you renew and rebuild healthy new skin cells, so lets start taking care of them. If you are a big tough guy and you think this doesn't apply to you, give it a try and I think you will be surprised at the results.

Your skin is your first line of defense against germs, it is also the largest organ in the human body. Your skin is constantly shedding dead cells and replacing new cells. One of the great things about this cleanse is that we are giving our bodies the nutrients, vitamins and minerals needed to grow healthy, elastic new skin cells. Take care of your skin!

Fatigue

Fatigue is probably the major symptom or complaint of an overly acidic body. It is the first stage of acidity. Microforms ferment the electron stores in our bodies that would otherwise be used for energy. Then, to add insult to injury, they spew acidic waste as a result. It’s as if you were trying to fill your car’s gas tank and someone else was siphoning off the gasoline. Without the energy it needs to keep going, your car won’t get very far or perform very well.

The toxins produced in an acidic body reduce the energy from carbohydrates, fats, protein, minerals, and other nutrients, which in turn weakens the body’s ability to produce enzymes and hormones and the hundreds of other chemical components necessary for cell energy and organ activity.

The result is fatigue, poor endurance, and inability to add muscle tone and general weakness.

Day SixteenAcidosis and Diabetes

Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and high blood sugar (diabetes) are rampant today. According to Dr. Robert Young (The pH Miracle) a deficiency in alkaline compounds such as sodium and potassium bicarbonate and insulin leads to hypoglycemia or the high-acidity disease called diabetes.

Pancreatic cells are directly poisoned and destroyed by the mycotoxin alloxan. The pancreas produces not only alkaline buffers - sodium bicarbonate-for alkalizing the food we eat, but also insulin, the alkalizing hormone that controls the blood acid sugar.

People with diabetes have low or normal blood sugar levels when their pH level is up and and high blood sugar levels when their pH is down.

Type 2 diabetes is the natural physiological and metabolic result of consuming large quantities of sugars and refined carbohydrates and meat protein, especially without engaging in regular physical exercise.

Research has shown that in the case of diabetes, even small doses of sugar can create changes in the body, even at the genetic level, that increases the risk of complications of diabetes. In a study of diabetic mice, cells showed the effects of a single dose of sugar up to two weeks later. Anatomical effects of sugar go beyond the response to one snack or meal itself, affecting the body’s natural metabolic ability.

What that means, among other things, is that the solution is quite straightforward: Cut out all forms of sugar, eliminate animal proteins and get regular exercise.

So according to Dr. Young’s statements above, you can see how switching to an alkaline diet can prevent or control the effects of diabetes.

Be an OptimistWhile being skeptical can be a

healthy way to avoid getting

taken advantage of, being

pessimistic - that is, always

assuming the worst - can have

major negative consequences

on your life. Seeing only the

negative aspects of any

situation can cause you to miss

opportunities, neglect problems

that need to be solved, and fail

to take action that would

otherwise improve your

relationships and quality of life.

In fact, studies show that

pessimists are more likely to

develop chronic illnesses later

on in life than optimists.

Optimists look for the light at the

end of the tunnel. If you've

always had a pessimistic

Day SeventeenUsing creative visualization to achieve your goals...

Creative visualization is a way of using your mind to get what you want out of life. Believe it or not, everyone uses it subconsciously. For instance, people who subconsciously tell themselves that they are unlucky, unloved, unattractive, etc, actually make those things realities for themselves. On the other hand, people who think they are fortunate, cherished, beautiful, etc. also make these things happen. Our sub-conscience is very powerful!

By thinking of the good things you want to happen as part of a regular routine, you're creating a positive energy. This positive energy then takes on form as the actual reality you desired.

Heres how to do it:

Decide what it is that you want. Is there something you want to change about yourself? Do you want better health?

Next, close your eyes and picture the idea exactly as you want it to be. Make sure you are relaxed. Picture yourself thinner and in perfect health as if you already possess it. Make sure you see this very clearly.

Once you've got the picture in your head, think of it often. Not only when you are relaxing or meditating, but throughout the day as well. Remember the old saying "You reap what you sow"? Well, you're "sowing" when you think of what you want. The more positive energy you send out, the more you will get back.

Lastly, BELIEVE that you will achieve your goal. Any disbelief is negative energy and will counteract what you're trying to achieve. And once you see it come true, acknowledge that you made it happen! Give yourself a pat on the back!

You now have the basic information to transform your life! May you use it in health, happiness, and prosperity!

The Alkaline Cleanse

Be PositiveThought is creative. All thought,

good and bad, is creative and

tends to lead to a material thing.

That is why we must learn to be

more positive. The environment

and all the experiences in life

are the result of habitual and

predominant thoughts.

Negative thoughts can tell us

about something that needs

attention. So, thoughts lead to

discovering what needs to be

done and one can think

positively or negatively to take

care of it. Many people fail to

see a negative occurrence as a

learning experience and

continue to feel victimized and

helpless, ultimately blaming

others for what they drew to

themselves.

You are not alone. You are not

hopeless. You are alive, and

you are your own person.

Day EighteenI’ve got a project for you today. Think about something that you really love to do. What is it in your life that gives you a lot of pleasure? I bet it’s also something that you devote a lot of time to. Why is that? We all have certain core needs that have to be met in order to be truly happy. Tony Robbins explains it perfectly in his “Ultimate Edge” CD. They are as follows; the need for certainty, the need for uncertainty, the need for significance, the need for love and connection, the need to grow, and the need to contribute.

We all have numerous ways of meeting these core needs. Personally, one way for me is flying small airplanes. It is something that meets all these needs for me.

• Certainty‐    I  know  if  I  go  flying,  I  am  going  to  enjoy  it.  I always do.

• Uncertainty‐  absolutely, every  flight is  a new  experience. New challenges. 

• Significance – sure, not everyone  is  a pilot. It gives me  a sense of accomplishment.

• Connec2on – yes, I connect with myself. Get away from it all.  Or  I  take  a  passenger  or  two.  When  you’re  flying someone around, you get their full attention!

• Grow  –  I  learn  something  new  every  time  I  go  up.  I practice new maneuvers. 

• Contribute – I volunteer to  fly for many charitable events, where  I  get  to  give  rides  to  young  kids  who  want  to become pilots.

The Alkaline Cleanse

Be Happy

Happiness - isn't that the thing that all of us strive to find and keep? Nobody is happy all of the time, but some people are definitely more fulfilled than others. Studies on what makes people happy reveal that it doesn't have much to do with material goods or high achievement; it seems to whittle down to your outlook on life, and the quality of your relationships with the people around you.

Your health also plays a direct roll in your happiness. If you are constantly fatigued, run down, and over weight you are going to miss out on much of what life has to offer. Most people find a renewed sense of happiness after they have made the decision to take care of their health.

You can see why I love flying so much. For me, it is a great vehicle for meeting my needs in a positive way. If  something meets  all six of  your core needs, you  are  not going to  give  it up,  unless  you  find  something else  to  replace  it  with  that also  meets  all  of  these  same needs. This works for good vehicles or bad ones.

When  I  use  the  word  vehicle,  I  am  referring  to  whatever  you  are  using  to  meet  your needs. Vehicles can either be  good  or bad.  If  you  find  something that meets at least  four of these core needs, you will have a hard  time giving it up, even if it’s a bad vehicle. Think about this, why are so many young kids joining gangs? What do gangs provide? Let’s see;

1. Certainty – certainty also means comfort. For many kids, joining a gang gives them a sense of comfort, as they are with a group of other kids  looking for the same thing as they are. Comfort in numbers.

2. Uncertainty – yes, something can  happen  at any moment. There are rival  gangs  to look out for, police raids, etc.

3. Significance  ‐  When  they  are wearing  the  gang’s  colors, they  are  significant. They made it into the gang.  It gives them a sense of uniqueness. 

4. Connec2on – yes, a sense of brotherhood. Most gang members  will take a bullet for each other.

When we understand these core needs, we can see what drives us, or others. Everyone will find something, good or bad, to meet his or her needs. So think about some of the vehicles you are using to meet your needs. Maybe you’re using food as a vehicle, or alcohol or drugs or gambling. If you have ever tried to quit a bad habit and failed, you probably didn’t find a replacement vehicle to replace what it was you were trying to quit. Discipline will not work. These needs are so important, that people will abandon their principles to meet their needs. To be truly happy, find good vehicles to replace the bad vehicles you may be using and you will feel truly fulfilled.

Good or bad, we all make choices based on these needs. How can you use the need for significance to help you with this cleanse? Think about how you view your health. Do you view your health as something you have the responsibility to take care of, or are you going to rely on the medical profession to bail you out? If it’s not too late by then! Very few people have the discipline needed to take control of their health, so you are now one of this small group. Be proud of what you are doing!

If you are abusing your body, then you are viewing yourself as insignificant, or not worthy of the effort. Change the way you view yourself and you will make extraordinary changes in your health!

$The Alkaline Cleanse

Be Humble"In reality there is perhaps not

one of our natural passions so

hard to subdue as pride.

Disguise it, struggle with it, beat

it down, stifle it, mortify it as

much as one pleases, it is still

alive, and will every now and

then peep out and show

itself...For even if I could

conceive that I had completely

overcome it, I should probably

be proud of my humility."

-Benjamin Franklin

"It's hard to be humble," says an old country song, "when you're perfect in every way."

Learning to be humble is of

paramount importance in most

religions and spiritual traditions,

and humility can also help you

develop as a person and enjoy

richer relationships with others.

Avoid people who stress you out – If someone consistently causes stress in your life and you can’t turn the relationship around, limit the amount of time you spend with that person or end the relationship entirely.

Take control of your environment – If the evening news makes you anxious, turn the TV off. If traffic’s got you tense, take a longer but less-traveled route. If going to the market is an unpleasant chore, do your grocery shopping online.

Avoid hot-button topics – If you get upset over religion or politics, cross them off your conversation list. If you repeatedly argue about the same subject with the same people, stop bringing it up or excuse yourself when it’s the topic of discussion.

Pare down your to-do list – Analyze your schedule, responsibilities, and daily tasks. If you’ve got too much on your plate, distinguish between the “shoulds” and the “musts.” Drop tasks that aren’t truly necessary to the bottom of the list or eliminate them entirely.

Beyond a take-charge approach and a positive attitude, you can reduce stress in your life by nurturing yourself. If you regularly make time for fun and relaxation, you’ll be in a better place to handle life’s stressors when they inevitably come.

Don’t get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of life that you forget to take care of your own needs. Nurturing yourself is a necessity, not a luxury.

Set aside relaxation time. Include rest and relaxation in your daily schedule. Don’t allow other obligations to encroach. This is your time to take a break from all responsibilities and recharge your batteries.

Connect with others. Spend time with positive people who enhance your life. A strong support system will buffer you from the negative effects of stress.

Do something you enjoy every day. Make time for leisure activities that bring you joy, whether it be stargazing, playing the piano, or working on your bike.

Keep your sense of humor. This includes the ability to laugh at yourself. The act of laughing helps your body fight stress in a number of ways.

The Alkaline Cleanse

Be Thankful

People with a strong sense of gratitude, love and appreciation don't necessarily have more than others; they simply recognize and see more beauty in their lives. A 2003 study suggests that people who count their blessings are generally happier and healthier than people who don't. If you ever feel as if anything in your life isn't "enough", try practicing an attitude of thankfulness. You might realize how good you have it after all.

Day Twenty One

CONGRATULATIONS! You did it!

Whether you realize it or not, you just did something amazing. Your body thanks you for it and you should be very proud of yourself. You took control of your destiny and that is something rare these days.

So now what?

If you feel that you have reached your desired weight loss and your body is back in balance, you can end your cleanse today. Even if you have reached your goal, I would strongly recommend doing one more cleanse. Once you feel that you no longer need to cleanse, you should eat a diet of 75% alkaline foods and 25% acidic foods to maintain a proper alkaline pH balance.

If you have not reached your weight loss goal and still feel that you can benefit from further cleansing, then by all means, continue. There is no time limit to how long you can stay on The Alkaline Cleanse.

Most people do at least 2 cleanses and we have people who have stayed on this cleanse for months at a time.

We are constantly improving and expanding our products. You can follow us on Facebook for updates, discounts and additional products. www.facebook.com/alkalinecleanse or visit our website at www.thealkalineresearchgroup.com.
